Our private lessons focus on what the student is looking to learn. Working with our instructors, each student will set personal goals and a curriculum will be designed to reach them. Whether you are a beginner or already accomplished musician, this is your place to learn, develop, and grow.

Private instructions are one-on-one with a teacher specializing in the instrument and style of your choice. Lessons are scheduled on the same day and at the same time each week. Lessons can be a half-hour in length (this is appropriate for beginners) or a full hour in length (this is appropriate for intermediate or advanced students).

* Times may be flexible - for example you can take a half hour of the hour time slot, or you can turn two half hour time slots into an hour long lesson.
